Hi all, I would like to thanks all to your fast feedback and support I'm moving my flat so I cannot test for these days. On Thursday I'll receive a new USB -> DB9 Null modem cable and a flash card reader. So the next days I'll update this feed with my observation, tests and steps to achieve it through PXE. As mentioned if it doesn't work I'll put directly OBSD 5.4 on the flash.
